Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Dining Chairs - Tables - Total cost

Machine setups: 200 - 600 - $48,000

Inspections: 250 - 470 - $72,000

Labor hours: 2,600 - 2,400

A) A single overhead rate:

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (48,000 + 72,000) / (2,600 + 2,400)= $24 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead based on direct labor hours:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Dining Chairs:

Allocated MOH= 24*2,600= $62,400

Tables:

Allocated MOH= 24*2,400= $57,600

B) We have to calculate an overhead rate for each activity cost pool.

<u>Overhead rate:</u>

Machine setups:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 48,000/800= $60 per machine hour set up

Inspections:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 72,000/ 720= $100 per inspection

Based on the overhead rate, we can allocate overhead to each product.

Dining chairs:

Allocated MOH= 60* 200 + 100*250= $37,000

Tables:

Allocated MOH= 60*600 + 100*470= $83,000

C) We can conclude that activity cost allocation is more accurate than using a single rate plant-wide. We can allocate costs more efficiently.

Wpc 301 in an interview, an appropriate response to the question "what kind of salary are you looking for?" is called:

inn [45]

<span>I'm looking for a salary that can sustain my living situation. I don't want to drain your company of wealth or anything like that, but I don't want to be underpaid. You can look at all of my qualifications and we can agree on a salary that will be fair for both me and the company. For example, I think that a $100,000 a year salary is not one that is fair for the company, but I would not be opposed to it! $40,000 a year is probably fair for the company, but not for me. Somewhere in between those two values is a fair salary for me.</span>

Karma Company has prepared its operating budget for the first quarter of 20x9. The company forecasts sales of $50,000 in Februar

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The correct solution is "38,500".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Sales in February,

= $50,000

Sales in March,

= $60,000

Sales in April,

= $70,000

Now,

The total selling and administrative expenses for the month of February will be:

= $Variable \ costs + Fixed \ cos ts$

On substituting the values, we get

= $50,000\times (40 \ percent+5 \ percent) + (8,00 0+5,000+1,200+800+1,000)$

= $20000+2500+8000+5000+1200+800+1000$

= $38,500$

Nadine Chelesvig has patented her invention. She is offering a potential manufacturer two contracts for the exclusive right to m

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The uniform annual sales volume of the product for Nadine to be indifferent between the contracts is 7,772 units per year.

Explanation:

We have to compare the present-value of both plans to answer this question.

The Plan A has a present value of $30,000 as is an inmediate payment.

The Plan B has both an annual payment and a royalty, for a span of ten years.

The present value for Plan B is:

$PV_b=\sum_{i=1}^{10}(1000+0.50q)/(1+i)^i$

This can be simplified with a annuity factor for 10 years, with i=10%.

$A_{10}=\frac{1-(1+i)^{-10}}{i}= \frac{1-1.1^{-10}}{0.10}\\\\A_{10}=\frac{1-0.386}{0.10}=\frac{0.614}{0.10}=6.14$

Then, the PV can be calculated as:

$PV_b=6.14(1,000+0.50q)\\\\PV_b=6,140+3.07q$

To be indifferent, both present values have to be equal:

$PV_b=PV_a\\\\6,140+3.07q=30,000\\\\q=(30,000-6,140)/3.07=23,860/3.07=7,772$

The uniform annual sales volume of the product for Nadine to be indifferent between the contracts is 7,772 units per year.
